Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coaches with realistic expectations and demands for players create a positive and supportive environment that emphasizes skill development and personal improvement rather than just winning. This helps children enjoy the sport and develop a long-term interest in it. Criticisms and badmouthing opponents or referees can create a negative and stressful environment, which could lead to children losing interest in the sport.
